WARNING:
Before depressing
the trigger switch to start hammering,
make sure that the rotational
head of
the auto-hammer

the hammerhead
could move,
causing
serious personal injury.

Holding the shaft of the nail steady with your hand, push down on the tool
and press the trigger switch to initiate the hammering
action; drive the nail
far enough into the workpiece
so that it stands on its own. Release the
trigger switch and remove your hand from the nail.

careful when driving shorter nails, such as
brads, that you remove your hand as soon as the nail stands
on its own in
the workpiece.
6.
Resume pushing down on tool and pressing the trigger switch to continue
hammering
until the nail is fully driven into the workpiece.
Near the end of
hammering,
the magnetic
sleeve will retract to allow the hammerhead
to
drive the nail head flush to the workpiece.

WARNING:
To avoid possibly serious injury, do not apply excessive
force
to the auto-hammer
or apply side pressure.
Hold the tool firmly while pushing
steadily to allow the hammerhead
to drive the nail automatically.
